One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan Date: March 3, 2011 To: Toronto and East York Community Council From: Robert Freedman, Director, Urban Design Wards: Ward 27 – Toronto Centre - Rosedale Reference te11014 Number: SUMMARY The purpose of this staff report is to seek City Council approval of the One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan. The plan has been prepared by the owner in compliance with the development approval provisions. The plan, which is included as Attachment 1 of this report, outlines the method by which the owner will commission public art in the publicly-accessible, privately-owned area of the development site. The development building site is in a prominent area in downtown Toronto located at the southeast corner of Yonge and Bloor Street. This neighbourhood is an established commercial shopping area and it is also the interchange of the two subway lines at this busy urban intersection. To reinforce the equal importance of these streets the public art site will be located in the privately owned property but highly accessible and visible area. The proposed site will be along the east-west frontage of Bloor Street and the north-south frontage of Yonge Street further enhancing the public realm. The One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan provides a framework for a public art commission including the introduction and background; the site context and public art site; the artist selection method; the documentation, communications and public relations; the estimated art budget; and schedule. The attached plan meets the objectives of City Planning’s Percent for Public Art Guidelines and is supported by the Toronto Public Art Commission. RECOMMENDATIONS The City Planning Division recommends that: Staff report for action – One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan 1 City Council approve the attached One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan attached to the report dated March 3, 2011, from the Director, Urban Design. FINANCIAL IMPACT There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report. DECISION HISTORY City Council at its meeting on October 27, 2008 approved a mixed-use building with residential condominiums, offices and retail at grade. The owner has complied with the Section 37 agreement that includes a public art provision that is 1% of the gross construction costs be dedicated towards public art. For on-site public art, the owner is required to produce a Public Art Plan for review by City Planning Staff and its advisory panel, the Toronto Public Art Commission. Initial meetings were held between the owner and City Planning Staff who met to discuss the public art process and to identify the site potentials. On January 19, 2011, the owner representatives made a preliminary presentation to the Toronto Public Art Commission, for initial comments and feedback. The owner returned to the February 22, 2011 meeting at which time Toronto Public Art Commission recommended approval of the One Bloor Street East Public Art Plan, subject to a resubmission addressing the documentation strategy. The attached plan was revised by the owner in accordance with that recommendation. ISSUE BACKGROUND The architectural treatment of the podium is significant and the artists will be working with the architect to insure that the integrity of the design is maintained. Given that there is limited space for free standing sculptures within the property line, the soffits and possibly a portion of the podium will be addressed by the public art. The owner has proposed an art selection method which includes a range of artists to be selected by a local jury that includes ward representation. Staff report for action – One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan 2 The attached plan describes the distribution of a documentary film through various multimedia outlets including web and social media available to the general public and the condominium owners. This distribution strategy will be more fully developed with City Staff to ensure that the documentation will be readily accessible to the public at large. COMMENTS The One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan is in compliance with the City’s objectives for the provision of public art in private development for this on-site program and is in accordance with the City Planning Percent for the Public Art Program, and is supported by the Toronto Public Art Commission. Upon City Council’s approval, the owner will commence work with the artist as scheduled in the attached plan. We look forward to the results of the public art competition.

INTRODUCTION Architect’s Statement Positioned at the south east corner of Yonge Street and Bloor Street, this notable site sits atop two converging subway lines and marks the eastern threshold into Canada’s premier shopping district, making it one of the most active and prominent intersections in the city of Toronto. The northerly corners of the area were re-developed in the early 1970’s, but failed to celebrate the importance of this destination by locating the retail below grade; effectively turning their back to the street. Redeveloping this site with the goal of increasing density while contributing to the public realm with new connections to transit, street level retail and improved pedestrian thoroughfare is the source of both the constraints and opportunities which form the project. The new building is the instrument which restores the urban experience of the street, while signifying the corner as a landmark location. The building is comprised of a street level podium with retail and commercial space, and a 65-storey residential tower with sculpted undulating balconies. Carving into the existing zoning envelope, the six-storey podium terraces away from the street as it stretches northward; dissolving the corner mass and preserving the existing street scale. This allows the tower to be present at the intersection without dominating the area and permits south light to penetrate to the street below. The undulating curved balconies produce a façade that possesses duel qualities of playfulness and control, and dramatically contrasts the surrounding modernist high-rises to the north. The interior core maintains a more regular form to avoid compromising the suites, and serves as the backdrop from which the curving facade emerges from. The frit glass balconies pinwheel around the building; increasing in size for the preferential corner units, while capitalizing on view and light. The flowing lines of the facade will carry through to the sloped rooftop above, and stretch out into the podium below; marking key entryways into the building.” Staff report for action – One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan 4 Staff report for action – One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan 5 Project Team The project team consists of the developer, Great Gulf Homes, the project architect (Hariri Pontarini Architects) and the public art managers, Public Art Management (Karen Mills, Justin Ridgeway, Ben Mills). Public art zones run along Bloor and Yonge Streets. 2. PUBLIC ART In accordance with the Section 37 agreement, the developer is proposing to commission public art for its site. Staff report for action – One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan 6 This site with its extraordinary location coupled with an outstanding architectural form poses both opportunities and restrictions for public art. With the building occupying a significant footprint at grade, there is limited space for free standing interventions with only Yonge Street offering some opportunities within the set back. The sculptural form of the building creates a bold statement. After discussions with City staff, the TPAC and the development team, we propose that the most publicly accessible and boldest interventions could be achieved at the ground level of the building in a number of locations addressing either or a combination of: the soffits (and possibly a portion of the podium) along the Bloor and Yonge perimeters of the development through the integration of artwork in the public realm and entrance to the TTC along Yonge Street, or a combination of the two Note: the artwork will be installed within the property development line These locations offer opportunities for an interesting and immediate engagement with the public- in discreet locations which will allow the works to read as “artwork”. Staff report for action – One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan 7 Canopy extends along Bloor (with trees) and Yonge (no trees) Streets 3. SELECTION METHOD An Invitation two stage competition is proposed for this project. The first stage shall comprise an invitation for Expressions of Interest from invited artists. This will be followed either by juried interviews or juried concept presentations. The Jury: The Jury will comprise 3 voting members of whom one will be a representative of the developer. Staff report for action – One Bloor Street East - Public Art Plan 8 At least one member of the Jury shall be an art expert resident of the ward. One representative shall be an artist. The two outside representatives on the Jury shall be drawn from the following pool of candidates: Mark Robert, art collector, lives and works in the ward James Lahey, artist Geddy (Lee) Weinrib, musician and art collector, lives in the ward Joanne Tod, artist In accordance with City of Toronto guidelines, the developer has the right to veto the Jury recommendation and re-run the competition.

The 78-storey megatower, nearing com- pletion on the northwest corner of Yonge and Gerrard Sts., has fast become one of Toronto most recognizable landmarks. “You notice it from the 401and Dufferin, or coming down the DVP,” notes Barry Graziani, the architect whose firm Grazia- ni & Corraza designed Aura, Canada’s tall- est residential building. “It reorients you — there’s the financial district and then there’s Aura farther north. It’s expanding our sense of the city and the downtown core.” Visible from across the GTA, the building also proudly signals that the once-gloomy stretch of Yonge between Gerrard and College Sts. has suddenly become a big deal. Indeed, Aura, developed by Canderel Residential, has helped spur a transforma- tion of the area, a historic part of the city that had fallen into disrepair over the years.

  • Rapid Condominium Growth and the Emergence of the Ultra-Luxury
    Rapid Condominium Growth and the Emergence of the Ultra-Luxury Condominium Market in Toronto, Canada By Andrea L. Mager A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April, 2013 Copyright © Andrea L. Mager, 2013 Abstract In this thesis, I undertake a study of rapid condominium growth occurring in the City of Toronto, Canada, and the emergence of an ultra-luxury condominium market during a time of global financial instability. This thesis examines the influence of rapid growth on Toronto as a world city during this time by asking the following research questions: Why has Toronto become a place of safe investment for condominium buyers during a time of global economic uncertainty? Why has the ultra-luxury market emerged in Toronto? What are the driving forces behind it, how does it contribute to Toronto’s standing as a world city, and what does the future hold for this niche market? What is the current state of the condominium market in Toronto and what can we expect to see happen in the near future? To answer these questions, this thesis draws insights from urban, political, economic and social geographic literature, statistical and policy data, as well as twenty-five (25) semi- structured interviews with a variety of key industry stakeholders in the City of Toronto. The results of this study point to a changing demographic landscape in a city where fundamental elements have not only secured Toronto’s reputation as a place of safe investment, but also created an environment of pent up demand leading to the emergence of the ultra-luxury condominium market.
